BARRY, Wales — A paramedic who heroically shielded a man injured on railway tracks as a freight train raced past has said he was just doing his job.

Brave Steven Magee, who works at the Welsh Ambulance Service station in Barry, jumped onto the tracks to treat the casualty as a huge freight train travelled through Eastbrook Station in Dinas Powys, Wales Online reports.

The 37-year-old made sure the distressed man was out of harm’s way before using a discarded piece of perspex to shield the pair from debris until the train left the platform.
